FAYETTEVILLE — A.J. Lewis, a graduate-transfer catcher from Eastern Kentucky, has signed to play his final season of college baseball at Arkansas.
Lewis (5-10, 195 pounds) chose Arkansas over interest from LSU. He is the second catcher to transfer into the Razorbacks’ program this offseason, joining San Francisco graduate transfer Robert Emery, a former summer teammate of Lewis' in the Cape Cod League.
“When I was leaving Eastern Kentucky, I was looking for a program where I could have a shot to win a national championship,” Lewis said. “My good friend Robert committed and was kind of like, ‘Dude, let’s do this together,' explaining that we would both be in a solid situation and this would be a good spot for both of us, and I thought the same.
